Birth Art Sessions

  • How have you been preparing for birth so far? It’s likely you’ve taken a class, read a few books, and googled everything you can think of. All that thinking and planning (while important) keeps you in your logical and analytical left brain. As you near the end of pregnancy and your birthing time, you begin to make a radical shift into your intuitive and primal right brain. 

    One of the best ways to tap into that side of your brain is by creating art. Art is messy, unpredictable, and fluid - just like birth and parenthood! This practice isn’t about making a masterpiece - it is about self-realization through the process of creation. Here are just a few of the opportunities you will have during your sessions: 

    • Explore new ideas to prepare for your birth, postpartum, or parenthood experience 

    • Connect with your intuition and inner wisdom

    • Address hidden anxieties or fears

    • Explore personal assumptions or expectations around this transition 

    • Process a past birth experience 

    • Foster a deeper connection and trust between you and your baby

    We will not be analyzing your creations or offering diagnoses during these sessions. You do not need any artistic skill or experience to participate. No one is expected or required to share their art or insights. 

    The prompts we work with come from Birthing from Within, an organization founded by Pam England. 

    Due to the nature of these sessions, please arrange care for small children and non-nursing babies during our time together.

  • Bring this experience to the comfort and privacy of your own home at your convenience. Your partner or birth companion is encouraged to join!

Mother’s Blessing Ceremony

  • A Mother's Blessing is inspired by traditional 'Blessingway' ceremonies seen in many cultures around the world. It is an intimate celebration of the mother and her rite of passage into motherhood. Gathered in a circle, various personalized rituals are shared to pass love, wisdom, and encouragement to mom for her journey ahead.

  • A beautiful way to celebrate both a woman entering motherhood for the first time, or a mother preparing to enter the birth portal yet again, along with the very closest women in her life.

    A Mother's Blessing is not just for someone who describes themselves as "spiritual". This celebration of motherhood can be as "woo woo" or conservative as you'd like! Your blessing is customized to you to make sure everything is done with intention and resonates with who you are.

  • Upon talking with the mother, variations from the following categories are chosen:

    • Reading / poems

    • Guided meditation

    • Tokens of love / birth alter

    • Birth art

    • Rituals of passage

    • Pampering
